Scenarios are chosen during character creation. Scenarios allow the player to choose their starting location as well as other challenging or interesting variables that determine how the beginning of the game plays.

This scenario costs 0 points (negatives add to the pool) and affects the skill points pool in multiple pool character creation. Starting locations can be chosen at the final description screen in character creation with / and include Evac shelter, and no other locations.

Notes

• This is the default scenario, and seems to be the canon origin story of many survivors in-game.
• While you start in an evac shelter, think carefully about these:
  • Is the evac shelter vandalised beyond your repair skills?
  • Is the city too dangerous to be near?
  • Are there enough food and other supplies in the evac shelter?
  • Is there a stable, safe source of water, such as a funnel and gallon jug, in easy reach? If not, is a river, lake, or swamp easily accessible?
  • Is there a monster hotspot (e.g., an anthill, triffid grove, fungal bloom, fungal tower, or group of fungal flowers) too near?

If you don't have many of these advantages, or the area is too dangerous, you should consider a new home to go to after you gather a few supplies from the city.
